havent lost a pound!

Ok. I lost my initial 12 lbs after birth no problem. But now I'm just stuck. I started at the gym 8 weeks ago now and I still weigh exactly the same as I did the day I started. I don't get it! I'm super frustrated with it. I work out mon-fri. I do 30 min elliptical+ abs daily and arm+ legs 3x week. Anyone have some advice?

Maybe you've hit a plateau? If so you just need to keep going and you'll win in the end.... Maybe you need to look at your diet/portion control and times you eat/drink? ...Maybe you just need to shake up your routine as your body may have just got used to what you do so it's lost the effect... I love the workout DVDs as at the end of the day you could spend hours at the gym but doing the wrong stuff to get your body into shape - good luck, you'll get there eventually :)

Ur body may have gotten bored and now won't budge. Get on the treadmill and do intervals. Walk, run etc... Try a DVD....switch it up a bit. Also check ur caloric intake. U may be taking in more than ur burning.

I'd look at your diet. Sometimes it seems like we are watching it, but everybite adds up...keep a diary or try myfitnesspal. Even if you cut calories alone, you should lose. I know its frusterating. Good luck!

Thanks ladies. I use myfitnesspal and I have been staying at 1500 cals a day. I also completely cut soda out of my diet. I just don't get how I haven't lost a single pound since I started diet and workout. Its crazy. I did talk with someone today who said some BF women hold on to weight instead of loosing it quickly like others. So idk maybe that's it. I think I'm gonna meet up with a trainer and see if I'm doing something wrong.

It's not about how many calories you take in as much as what those calories are made of. I do weight watcher and swaer by it. I hardly ever make it to the gym and have lost 59lb (52lb gained during pregnancy) since my 19 month old son was born. If you don't have time for a meeting there is an online component which is cheaper

Are you BF'ing? If so, your body is probably holding onto the weight and will for about 6 months. I have been the same way. I have been eating right and exercising consistently and didn't lose a pound until the 5 month mark. Now I am slowly starting to lose weight and I haven't changed a thing!. Just your bodys way of keeping your baby healthy I guess. If you know you are working out well and eating right, then you will just have to be patient. Trust me, I know it is easier said than done!
